Changing server or node names

Because Lifecycle Query Engine and Link Index Provider do not participate in the server rename process for the Engineering Lifecycle Management applications, the server names do not automatically change when rename is complete. You can manually rename the Lifecycle Query Engine and Link Index Provider servers. Perform this task after read-only mode is disabled. The server name for Lifecycle Query Engine and for Link Index Provider is an identifier; a display name only. By default, to identify different Lifecycle Query Engine or Link Index Provider nodes, the current hostname is added as the node ID; it is set the first time that each node is started. However, the node ID does not have to be a hostname; as administrator, you can change it to be whatever you want.

Procedure

  1. In the Lifecycle Query Engine Administration page navigation, under Configuration, click LQE Nodes.
  2. For each server or node that you want to rename, click the associated node link.
  3. Type a new name for the node.
